ok, this sounds weird but has anyone else had a problem with bad breath after surgery? I am more than 3 weeks postop and have never had this problem..for my husband of 33 years to tell me that I have bad breath i know there is a problem. I had the issue a few days after surgery but thought it was normal. But, its been a few weeks and it is still an issue. Like I said, i have never had a problem. So, is this anything to do with the surgery or needing fluids or something?

 Keto breath? If you're still taking in very little carbs you may still be in ketosis. My NUT recommended some banana flavored med but I can't remember the name. Devrox? Something like that. It fights the keto breath.

I keep SF breath mints with me all the time, since I am not allowed to chew gum. I am almost 2 months out.

Its normal, its ketosis! It'll pass in about 6 months. You'll miss the ketosis phase one day...right now I'd kill for a week of ketosis so I can get rid of my last 5 pounds LOL

I was going to say bad breath=weight loss!  If you ever done Atkins, you know your losing when the keto breath kicks in.  I figured the same with WLS.

Just about everyone does.  It's ketosis.  The low carb diet and burning so much fat.

Yup--listerine strips and altoid smalls (both no sugar) are your friend!

Oh, I'm glad I'm not alone. But anytime you take in more protein, the bad breath is an issue. I keep mints like my life depends on it. I keep mouthwash and a toothbrush/toothpaste at work and do the routine after lunch.
